[dpdk-dev] Wireless NICs are supported?

[Matthew Hall]

Not sure for Mr. Kim, but for me, performance is actually not my main inspiration to use DPDK. I began using it in about 2011 when I got a training on it from the 6WIND guys before it became open source. What impressed me most was how much simpler it was to troubleshoot, debug, maintain, and add new features.

All I am saying is some of us would love to be able to develop 802.11N code without all of the s/features/bugs/g of the Linux, BSD, etc. kernels being involved... ;)

Just another thought,

Matthew.
